MPC8548EVTAUJB

The MPC8548EVTAUJB is a single‑core PowerPC e500 microprocessor from NXP Semiconductors' MPC8548 series, running at 1.333 GHz and supplied in a 783‑FCBGA (29×29) surface‑mount package. Designed for embedded applications, the device combines a high‑performance 32‑bit core with integrated memory controllers, multi‑port Ethernet and on‑chip security and signal‑processing engines.

This part targets embedded and networking designs that require deterministic 32‑bit processing, hardware cryptography, multiple gigabit Ethernet interfaces and flexible memory support while operating across a 0 °C to 105 °C temperature range.

Key Features

• Core and Performance – PowerPC e500 32‑bit single core operating at 1.333 GHz.
• On‑chip Caches – 32‑Kbyte L1 instruction cache and 32‑Kbyte L1 data cache with parity protection; caches support full or per‑line locking for instruction and data.
• Signal‑Processing Engine (SPE) – Integrated SPE APU providing vector instructions for 64‑bit integer and fractional operations to accelerate signal‑processing workloads.
• Security Subsystem – On‑chip security engine (SEC) with cryptography capabilities and a hardware random number generator.
• Memory Interfaces – Integrated controllers supporting DDR, DDR2 and SDRAM memory technologies.
• Multi‑port Ethernet – Four 10/100/1000 Mbps ports (eTSEC) for high‑throughput networking and communications tasks.
• High‑speed Peripherals – Supports a broad set of system interfaces documented in the hardware specification including PCI/PCI‑X, PCI Express, Serial RapidIO, HSSI, I²C and DUART.
• Package and Mounting – 783‑FCBGA (29×29) supplier device package supplied in tray format for surface‑mount assembly.
• Operating Range – Qualified for consumer applications with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 105 °C.

Typical Applications

• Network Appliances – Multi‑port 1 Gbps Ethernet support and integrated packet‑processing capabilities suit routers, switches and gateway devices.
• Embedded Communication Systems – On‑chip PCI/PCI‑X, PCIe and Serial RapidIO interfaces enable use in communication controller and backplane systems.
• Security Appliances – Built‑in cryptography and a hardware RNG make the device appropriate for secure communications and hardware‑accelerated encryption functions.
• Signal‑Processing Modules – The SPE APU and vector instruction support accelerate DSP‑style workloads in embedded signal‑processing applications.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated multi‑port Ethernet: Four native 10/100/1000 Mbps ports reduce external PHY and switch requirements and simplify board design for high‑bandwidth networking.
• Comprehensive memory support: DDR, DDR2 and SDRAM controllers provide flexibility in selecting system memory to meet cost and performance targets.
• Hardware security primitives: On‑chip cryptography and an RNG enable secure boot, encryption and secure communications without relying solely on software.
• Deterministic 32‑bit core with cache control: L1 caches with parity and locking options allow fine‑grained performance tuning for real‑time embedded workloads.
• Broad peripheral set: Support for PCI/PCI‑X, PCIe, Serial RapidIO, HSSI, I²C and DUART enables interfacing to a wide range of legacy and high‑speed peripherals.
• Proven family ecosystem: Part of the MPC85xx family with detailed hardware documentation and device‑level specifications for system design and integration.
